My husband needs an MRI to diagnose a painful back problem. General practitioner says if he orders it they will probably deny . cost is about $1500 so only ‘specialists ‘ can order and ‘probably’ get it through. First appt available there is April 4. Long time to be in pain with something that can be remidied once we can SEE it.
Tomorrow I will call and see if anyone will do MTI asap if we pay cash, which we are fortunate enough to be able to do.. For anyone who doesn’t think Obama care is up and running. think again.
I'm not a Doc. I'm not saying anything...And I've no idea what your situation is.
But there is some interesting data supporting the recommendation.
Good luck
for those who need a specialist....a neurologist or neurosurgeon, or gastroentrologist, etc...I’d almost suggest getting yourself to an ER and get admitted.....usually the specialist will try to see people in the hospital and you won’t have to wait the many weeks or months it takes to get in...
